2015 Lansing-Area High School Football Preview: Okemos Chiefs

2014 Key Wins: Everett 23-13 in Week 3. East Lansing 20-13 in Week 9 to qualify for the playoffs.

2014 Key Losses: Lost to Flint Carmen-Ainsworth 27-0 in Round 1 of the Division 2 Playoffs.

Key Games This Season: Mason Week 1, at Everett Week 3.

2015 Season Outlook: Coach Jack Wallace has turned the Chiefs around, leading them to the playoffs for only the third time since 1999. They only have 8 starters back, but Wallace likes the young players that are on his roster. Participation is up and expectations are up, too. A tough early schedule (Mason, Ann Arbor Skyline) will make things difficult. But like Everett, they expect to contend in the wide-open CAAC Blue, and hope to get out of the first round in the playoffs. They have been to the second round once since 1986.
